I can't understand from where are coming these huge amount of hashrate? XZC net hashrate grows very quickly. At the same time, profitability is very low, about 4 times lower than on most other altcoins.
So, this is a botnet, or what is it ?? Huh

77Gh net hashrate it's about 65K pcs gtx 1060 GPUs. Seriously??? and all these miners still mining this coin, while other altcoins offering 3x, 4x higher profit?? smells fishly

Two biggest pools have only ~ 23Gh hashrate! Where the rest net hashrate is sitting? Seems what the resh hashrate is HIGHLY centralised by SOLO miners (botnets)

dude who have server with power 65K GPU? I dont believe someone can get that even from google cloud, aws or azure without not getting attention from them, it's possible if ASIC, but please someone who have knowledge in that subject please enlgihten us whether it can be ASIC or something else

This is quite alarming although I don't think an ASIC is possible since the algo is very memory intensive, I might be wrong though.

Dev would you be so kind to give your opinion about this matter? I thought the new algo where supposed to make it not profitable for botnets to mine zcoin anymore and im not aware of any asics for zcoin seems highly unlikely, so how can this be? What do you think about this enormous hashrate?

lol, botnets were ALWAYS a part of this coin, remember the private investors who made this possible ? they wanted "aws cloud mining" to be #1 from the start, noone was mad they need to please investors, it's understandable.

ASICs? um no. look at the code ya nub, way too mem intensive for a TODAY asic ;p

haha dude do you think it's possible to do "aws cloud mining" with hash power 65K GPU (not cpu core, which is if translate to cpu maybe around 195K Shocked

?? )?? yes it might be if using legal ways , but their outcome will more bigger than their profit a.k.a more cheap to buy zcoin than to mining using cloud mining
